This patent will further bolster our intellectual property estate, and we expect that it will provide us with a significant opportunity to drive Tooth Soap®’s growth throughout this decade.

Oregon City, OR (PRWEB)November 30, 2011

Tooth Soap, Inc., a leading manufacturer of natural oral care products, today announced that United States Patent No. 8,052,962 from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for “Oral soap composition for cleaning teeth”. This patent generally relates to novel formulations of Tooth Soap, Inc.’s award winning flagship product, Tooth Soap®. Generally, a patent may be obtained only on claimed subject matter that is novel and non-obvious. Most importantly, the grant of a patent provides the patentee with the legal right to prevent any party from making, using, importing for sale, or selling the patented subject matter. With this issuance, U.S. Patent No. 8,052,962 will be enforceable until February 22, 2027.

Since 2003, Tooth Soap® has grown to become the best natural, non-toxic alternative to toothpaste. Tooth Soap®, made with organic whole foods, natural and wildcrafted sustainable ingredients, flawlessly cleans teeth and gums by scrubbing fissures and pits in teeth (the most common place for cavities) to remove oils, residues and other contaminants. Tooth Soap® leaves teeth absolutely clean allowing re-mineralization of teeth to occur naturally.

“Since first creating Tooth Soap® on my kitchen table, we have eagerly anticipated receiving our first patent,” said Karen Van Cleef, Tooth Soap, Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer. "This patent will further bolster our intellectual property estate, and we expect that it will provide us with a significant opportunity to drive Tooth Soap®’s growth throughout this decade. To further secure our patent position, we have also filed additional applications to protect other novel and non-obvious Tooth Soap® formulations."
